bio decontamination kit

    Pollution of toxic heavy metals generated by anthropogenic activities is a worldwide concern while aquatic environments are frequently the final recipients of most of heavy metal pollutants (Bakis and Tuncan; Boyd). For instance, enhanced accumulation rates inferred from sediment and ice cores clearly show mercury continually accumulates in waters and rivers(Tchounwou et al., 2003). Traditional techniques to detect or decontaminate heavy metals in natural samples can be costly and time consuming, especially at low metal concentration; therefore, robust and inexpensive methods to detect and to decontaminate heavy in water are highly desirable (Tecon and van der Meer, 2008; van der Meer and Belkin). That is, we need a high-performance heavy metal decontamination kit which can accomplish the detection and absorption of heavy metal in aquatic environment conveniently.
